Lush: Creamy Candy

Oh my golly gosh... so you never guess what I found lingering in the back of my cupboard! Oh yes Creamy Candy Vanilla Bubble Barrrrrrrrrrrrrr - from Lush of course :)

It was only until yesterday that I needed a good hot bubble bath. I was so excited because obviously after my unfortunate experience with the last Lush bar/bomb that I had used wrongly, I checked it out on their website where I also read the reviews that were ever so enticing! So after checking it out carefully on the Lush website I knew to crumble it under the running water and look what a wonderful surprise a bubbly, lovely smelling bath :D 

I loved the fact that for a few seconds the colour of the water went pink haha but the smell was divine like a mix of bubble gum and candy floss - so good and I love anything Vanilla as long as its not too overpowering and becomes sickly! Lush website states that ... it "has a blend of almond and cocoa butter" which I totally could tell from the feel of my skin after my bath I even sat there rubbing in of what was left on my skin after pulling the plug. 

Some of the reviews said that they could maybe get two uses out of this but I think I'd have to disagree with that and say one bar was enough for one use for me, but I'm happy with that because I love lots of bubbles hence why I can sometimes use a whole bottle of Radox bubble bath (oops). I'd definitely get this again but first I must get the 'Love Locket'!!  

Any Lush products that you are lusting over?

Weekend Wishlist #02

1. Boots | Origins GinZing Refreshing eye cream | £23.00

This top rated eye cream has been on my wishlist ever since I saw it on so many blog posts and You Tube videos. I have currently been using M.A.C Fast Response Eye Cream, which has done me wonders as can see the improvements where my concealer doesn't crease and become dry. I have now ran out and would love to try this raved about product to see what the hype is all about.

2. M.A.C Cosmetics | Pro conceal and correct palette medium | £35.00

I remember when this Palette was coming out and I mentioned it once or twice to my lovely boyfriend who decided to surprise me with it and even better, it was my shade! I have used it ever since but it was only last year that I began using this everyday rather than just using it here and there. I also put away my M.A.C Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer that at least I thought I loved until I used this. What's even better is that I have used all the shades in this palette making it worth the price - (which I don't think is bad).

3. River Island | Black leather look biker jacket | £60.00

I wasn't even merely looking for a Leather Jacket, it was only since I came across this in the RI store and tried it on and fell in love and as I always tend to fall out of love with my most worn coats/jackets I believe it is the time to upgrade. Black leather jackets - so versatile! 

4. Disney Store | Minnie Mouse stripe mug | £8.00

I saw this mug in the Disney Store and I just think I fell for the colour more than anything. I love this Lilac colour, that's all I can say! Oh and that it would be so lovely for soups seeing as I'm not a hot beverage addict. 

5. Lush | Love Locket Bath Bomb | £6.95

Lush always have something exciting when its an occasion! I was searching through the website and found this little cutie but it wasn't even the fact that it was a Valentine special more that it has little hearts inside!

6. Debenhams | NAKED 2 eyeshadow palette | £37.00

It's a must to have a basic, sort of natural everyday palette in my make up collection because the ones I have currently are not doing anything exciting for me and again another product that is continuously raved about makes me want it more. 

*My bad for the delay. Sorry*

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Lush: Father Christmas

Father Christmas

I recently got a Lush Father Christmas bath bomb from my loved one and unfortunately like the goon I am I didn't use it correctly, so in other words I failed to enjoy it. To be fair its more annoying when there is no description attached when purchasing these products. For example, when receiving it as a gift your not to know what to do with them, hence I didn't know what to do until I got in the bath and decided to Google it, as I did begin to think where are the bubbles... and the annoying part where I read 'Bath Bomb' and compared the picture on the Lush website to how my bath was looking - which was nothing alike. Next time I receive a gift from Lush I will be sure to read it on the website as I am not talented enough to know that it was a bath bomb. So yes, very gutted about that but I still thought I'd show you what mine turned out like and to warn you in case you make the same mistake as myself which I'm pretty sure you won't.

Any Lush products that I should give a go?

Happiness is taking a long, hot bubble bath ...

Got a crush on Lush  

Right to left: Madame Butterfly and Mum Tulip

Whilst visiting my boyfriend at University I decided to go Lush shopping with him because I knew he'd enjoy that as its not as repetitive as clothe's shopping. Bare in mind it was my first time and to be honest with you it wasn't great because I'm one of those people that don't like being bombarded with staff hovering and asking and talking to you whilst you try to enjoy shopping. As much as they are only trying to be nice I know but I just like to shop in peace and if I need help I never hesitate to ask... So anyway the whole time we was in there they literally did not stop talking to us which ruined the first time experience a little but maybe it was because we was like the only customers in there at the time and it was near to closing. I knew I definitely wanted to pick up a wand after missing out on the Christmas Magic wand bubble bar so their new limited editions were the mothers day 'The Mum', 'Mum Tulip' and 'Madame Butterfly' wands. The lady even demonstrated them and I wasn't going to say no but I wasn't keen on the 'Mum' wand so I also wanted to pick up a bath bomb which I couldn't choose between the 'Creamy Candy' and 'Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment' bubbles bar's.

Flush that Lush

It was only till I got home and tried them out that I have never been so disappointed. Honestly I don't know whether it was just me (I think it was me) and the fact that I swished it around in the bath once the water had stopped running but it did absolutely nothing in terms of colour, smell or foam although there was ONE highlight of the whole experience...the rose oils. I could feel the oils on my skin soaking in which was lovely.  

It was odd to think that the overpowering smell you get just it being inside the packaging just didn't come through in the water. I was so gutted after waiting such a long time to buy Lush products and then to wait even longer to bring them home from my boyfriends place. 

After swirling in Mum Tulip as well it did show somewhat colour and a sense of fragrance but it still didn't look like the demonstration shown at the shop. I think the Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment was ruined because I just crumbled it in the bath to save myself having a disappointing bubble bath which just got worse as that didn't work either. (I should have known better as its been said and shown that you should run in directly under the tap whilst running your bath so I won't repurchase the same one but I will get the Creamy Candy Bar this time and hopefully do it right and my bath will be full of lushness! 

"Simply turn on your bath taps and swish it around in the water for a few seconds – or until you’ve got enough bubbles in your tub. Then pop it on the side to use another time - these look particularly nice in a vase on the side. It goes rock hard until you’re ready to use it again – how many baths will you get out of it? Here’s the important part – before you get in, make sure you have a watering can or jug to hand. Then once you’ve finished wallowing in the lovely waters, you can dip your jug into the bath, scoop up some of that nutrient filled water and water all your plants around the house and garden (just remember to put a dressing gown on first if you go outside!)"  Lush.co.uk
